Assessment of anti-protozoal activity of plants traditionally used in Ecuador in the treatment of leishmaniasis (Publications)
AIM OF THE STUDY: For the assessment of the in vitro anti-protozoal potential of plants traditionally used in Ecuador in the treatment of leishmaniasis, a combined approach based on interviews with he
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em> in healthy companion animals living in nursing homes and in the community (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Animals could be reservoirs of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) strains, but epidemiologic data on ESBL-producing bacteria in healthy pets are missing. We determined the prevalence
Asexual blood-stage malaria vaccine development: facing the challenges (Publications)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this article is to highlight the challenges that researchers face in the development of asexual blood-stage vaccines, and the progress made recently towards achieving the
Bidirectional correlation of NMR and capillary electrophoresis fingerprints: a new approach to investigating <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> infection in... (Publications)
We demonstrate the statistical integration of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and capillary electrophoresis (CE) data in order to describe a pathological state caused by Schistosoma mans
The importance of mosquito behavioural adaptations to malaria control in Africa (Publications)
Over the past decade the use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), in combination with improved drug therapies, indoor residual spraying (IRS), and better health infrastructure, has helped reduce
Structure-activity relationship studies of orally active antimalarial 3,5-substituted 2-aminopyridines (Publications)
In an effort to address potential cardiotoxicity liabilities identified with earlier frontrunner compounds, a number of new 3,5-diaryl-2-aminopyridine derivatives were synthesized. Several compounds e
In vivo investigations of selected diamidine compounds against <em>Trypanosoma evansi</em> using a mouse model (Publications)
Surra is an animal pathogenic protozoan infection, caused by Trypanosoma evansi, that develops into a fatal wasting disease. Control measures rely on diagnosis and treatment. However, with the continu
Using human rights to improve maternal and neonatal health: history, connections and a proposed practical approach (Publications)
We describe the historical development of how maternal and neonatal mortality in the developing world came to be seen as a public-health concern, a human rights concern, and ultimately as both, leadin
